Cleaning And Maintenance - Rocal D-8 Manuel Des Caracteristiques, Installation Et Fonctionnement

IMPORTANT: -The interior vermiculite parts SHOULD NOT RECEIVE IMPACTS when refueling is performed.
If any of these parts crack, but is properly set in its place, THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE
APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE ALTERED AND THERE IS NO POTENTIAL RISK. The equipment can be
used normally. These cracks do not entail any manufacturing defect so they do not fall under
guarantee.
4.6 Loading and reloading of fuel. Do not exceed the maximum allowed load or reload. (See Table of Technical specifications).
4.7 Door opening. They should be opened only for cleaning when the device is completely off. To open them, follow the steps
described in the images 'C.1' of the attached document.
4.8 Operation in adverse weather conditions. It is possible for the device to malfunction due to sudden or unexpected weather
changes, causing: low pressure, ebb currents of air into the smoke duct. When these phenomena are observed it is advisable to close
the combustion register and turn the equipment off.
4.9 Fire Prevention. You must not place any flammable element outside the safety distance from the fireplace described in the table
in section 1.1 Technical specifications. You shall also take special precautions if there are children and elderly people present. In
case of fire, push away all the people around it, close the registers as much as possible and notify the Firefighting service.
4.10 Dilations of the sheet. Materials subject to temperature changes undergo dilatations. This phenomenon can cause sporadic
metallic noises more or less frequently. These are completely innocuous and do not mean any risk or problem for its operation.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 Maintenance. An appropriate and regular maintenance of both the appliance and the installation contributes greatly to its good
performance. It is important to perform periodic and complete controls of the equipment and of the ducts and installation. Thus, for
your safety and comfort, some of our dealers offer a servicing contract for your device. Please contact your dealer for this
service.
5.1.1 Locking mechanisms. You need to make sure no mechanisms are locked (registers, door, air inlet, etc.) after an extended
shutdown period.
5.1.2. Spare parts. Use only original spare parts, or parts recommended by Manufacturas Rocal, S.A. See picture on section "V" of
the ANNEXED document.
5.2. Cleaning. It is important for the appliance to be clean of ash so that all mechanisms work properly. To clean the body of the
device use the cleaning dry cloth given with the appliance or similar. Do not use current cleaning products.
5.2.1 Glass. You must turn the device off to clean the glass. The products used must not come into contact with the metal parts of
the door or the ceramic board; the aggressiveness of these products can cause a corrosion process of the equipment.
5.2.2 Ash. Do not empty the ashes if they are not completely off, ensuring that the ashes do not contain any burning coals; in
which case you should deposit them in a metal bucket. Follow step C.1.
5.2.3. Flue liner. It is important to keep the flue liner clean. It gets dirty depending on the fuel used, on a slower or faster combustion,
etc. You need to clean the flue liner at least once per season. It is mandatory for a specialist to review it periodically. To access the
flue liner follow the steps shown in pictures "C.1", "C.6" and "C.8" of the ANNEXED document.
5.2.4. Painting. The heat-resistant paint that covers the whole device (the combustion chamber, the interior, the front door, etc.),
resists up to 600ºC of temperature and releases a slight characteristic odor that disappears with the first ignitions. It is necessary to
regularly check the condition of the paint and correct it when necessary.
This paint can be damaged when; the temperature exceeds 600ºC, fuels with too much humidity or non-recommended fuels are
used, it is installed in humid environments and / or salinity in the environment (seawater), it is in contact with chemical cleaning
products or with water (inputs through the duct, etc.). Use exclusively "Rocal heatproof spray paint".
6. PROBLEMS: CAUSE AND SOLUTION
Below is a table of possible anomalies, their causes and solutions:
PROBLEM
1. Rejects smoke and / or
insufficient draught
2. Excessive dirt on glass
3. Glass bleaching or colour
fading of the plate
4. Poor heating
CAUSE
Incorrect duct
Lack of air supply for combustion
Incorrect position of registers
Incorrect duct
Inappropriate fuel
Overly closed registers
Excessive temperature caused by excessive heat in
the combustion chamber
Inappropriate fuel
Insufficient load
Combustion control registers in the wrong position
SOLUTION
Duct servicing*:
-connection
-diameter
-leaks
-insufficient length
-outdoor access
-possible elements blocking the exit
Check vents and / or outside air supply.
Simultaneous operation with other ventilation devices and
/ or heating
Setting the register
Revise section on insufficient flue (below).
Use recommended fuel
Adjust registers
